Wampserver 3.0.6 64bit - 403 Forbidden

Question

Whatever i do, cant acces local wamp through public ip adress. I get following error message.

Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. Apache/2.4.23 (Win64) PHP/5.6.25 Server at (my public ip) Port 80

Below i have pasted the part of httpd.cong that should regulate this. Basically everything seems to be fine.

Wampserver is put online using its own menu item.

I have tried inserting below code into directory settings, does not help.

Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

What am i missing ? Thank you.

DocumentRoot "${INSTALL_DIR}/www"
<Directory "${INSTALL_DIR}/www/">

    # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",

@RiggsFolly- if you have read my question, you woul dknow it is nowhere near to the one you have marked it being duplicate with. I was not asking why the menu item is not visible...

Looks like a file system permission issue on first glance. – arkascha Oct 10 '16 at 18:19 — arkascha, Oct 10 '16 at 18:19

Seems if you have an already made virtual host file, the put online menu item does not issue the necessary changes to it. In the vhosts file Changing Require local to Require all granted fixed the issue. Strange....

# Virtual Hosts
#

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName localhost
    DocumentRoot F:/wamp64/www
    <Directory  "F:/wamp64/www/">
        Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Thank you! Finally found the answer! – bwoogie May 07 '17 at 00:38
it works for me – Ghebrehiywet Jun 25 '17 at 06:29
You may also wish to check the http-vhosts.conf file for your website as it may not have used the full path to the directory on your hard drive ie mine gave me this DocumentRoot "mysite" and when it should be DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/mysite/" hope this helps – Artful_dodger Sep 03 '17 at 12:02
